Cathedral of Hope Senior Pastor Jim Mitulski is disappointed, but said it’s a teaching moment.

“This is what our Christian faith teaches us — it's not hypothetical that when people hate us we respond not with violence as this is, this is passive violence but it's violence never the less, we respond with love, with compassion,” said Mitulski.

“I'm disappointed to see that there are people in the world who use hate to express themselves,” said Whitley. “There are so many other ways to try to work through things even if we don't like each other, don't understand each other, we don't have to do stuff like this.”

“Get a life, grow up, or as Rodney King would say, 'Can’t we just all get along?'”
